counts at stores. We get it from an ex-
change: A farmer wished to purchase 80

money to pay down, and wanted in some
way TO get 10 per cent discount offered to
those who did pay cash. So he accepted
the merchants advice to borrow $50 for
three months. Paying his interest in adj
vance 40 per cent for three months, 81 -

OF goods and paying cash, he got 10 per
cent off and paid for his good $45, having

man who loaned the money got his interest,
the farmer got his goods cheap aud had
money left, and all hands were happier
than they would have been had the goods
been sold on time. 1t pays to deal on cash
basis
